Privacy notice
This notice covers the personal information and technical files that reach us through this website or by email. It is deliberately specific about drawings, because that is the part of a manufacturing enquiry that matters most.
Last revised: 5 November 2026.
1. Who is responsible
Shenzhen Joly Technology Development Co., Ltd., Rm 2105, No.4028 Jintian Rd, Fuzhong Community, Futian District, Shenzhen, China, is responsible for the processing described here. Enquiries about this notice go to general@pmapart.com.
2. What we collect
From an enquiry form or an email: your name, company, business email, telephone number, the programme you describe, and any part list or attachment you choose to send. From the web server: the IP address, browser type and timestamp of the request, kept in standard access logs.
We do not run analytics, advertising pixels or session recording on this site, so there is no behavioural profile of your visit to disclose.
3. Why we hold it
- To answer the enquiry and prepare a determination or a quotation
- To assess feasibility, which requires understanding the part
- To perform a programme once an agreement exists
- To meet record-keeping, tax and export-control obligations
- To defend a claim if a programme is later disputed
4. On what basis
Handling an enquiry and performing a contract rest on steps taken at your request and on the contract itself. Record-keeping rests on legal obligation. Where none of those apply — for example, keeping your details to approach you about a future programme — we rely on legitimate interest in doing business with you, and you may object at any time.
5. Technical files and drawings
Drawings, specifications and samples are treated as confidential business information, not as marketing material. They are stored in access-restricted locations, shared only with the people and parties needed to quote for or perform the work, and never used in a case study, a reference list or a public page.
If a file carries export-controlled technical data, tell us before sending it. Where the authorisation to receive it does not exist, we will decline the file and delete what was sent.
6. Who sees it
Staff handling the enquiry; the manufacturing partner that would perform the work, under confidentiality obligations and only once the enquiry has reached the stage where a partner must be involved; the hosting and email providers that carry the correspondence; and authorities where the law requires disclosure.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not pass enquiry details to a broker or a list.
7. Where it is held
Enquiry records are held in China. Where a manufacturing partner or a service provider is located elsewhere, the transfer is limited to what that party needs, and is covered by the confidentiality terms in the agreement.
8. How long
An enquiry that does not become a programme is kept for up to twenty-four months so that a revived project does not start from nothing, then deleted. Records for a programme that was performed are kept for the retention period stated in the quality agreement, because they are the evidence behind a release. Server logs are kept for a short operational period.
9. Your choices
You may ask for a copy of what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, ask for it to be deleted where no legal or contractual duty requires us to keep it, object to being contacted about future work, or ask for your data in a portable form. Write togeneral@pmapart.com and we will respond within a reasonable period.
If you are not satisfied with the response, you may complain to the data protection authority in your jurisdiction.
10. Security
Access to enquiry records is limited to the staff who need it. Files are held in access-restricted storage; the site is served over HTTPS. No system is perfect, so if a breach affects your information we will tell you what happened and what we did about it.
11. Changes
This notice may be revised when the way we handle enquiries changes. The revision date at the top of the page changes with it.
